To me, that just sounds like imposter syndrome. You are assuming that others view you as competent while simultaneously believing that you yourself are not. Isn't that basically imposter syndrome in a slightly different mask? One that is tinged with paranoia and trust issues, but still imposter syndrome nonetheless.

Am I ever glad to see this

Less Pokémon here than I thought there would be, though it does make a showing. I do gen 2 and 3 now and again. Gen 1, I think I've wrung out completely, and gen 4+ (DS and onward) just doesn't emulate as cleanly in my experience.

And I guess I'm approaching my 2nd decade of still playing certain MUDs: Achaea/Aetolia, Discworld, Lost Souls.

I don't really game much these days, though; certainly not like I used to.

I agree with the other 7 Samurai people as that being his best.

But don't sleep on 天国と地獄 (I think the English title is High and Low?)

Also,Ichikawa Kon's Revenge of a Kabuki Actor is top-shelf.

20,000 thousand? Twenty million troops?!

Around the time this came out, I, having had no idea about the movie or its premise, wrote a story that was along similar lines in creative writing. Specifically, it featured the immune system and other cells as characters and whatnot.

I was accused of ripping off the idea.

Is that what's happening? I thought he was ladling a huge ass pot of soup.

We have to wait until he SLAMS him, you see.

He got researched by me.

 

Originally it was going to be "over the last twenty years" but I decided to be more flexible.

A lot of discussions about how society has changed or how the world is different always circle around to smartphones, social media, "no one talks to each other in person, they're on their phones always" and the like.

Outside of those topics, what else has changed, by your perception?

I've just finished my first week at a new job. I like the job, but it's the first time in several years that I've had relatively standard 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as my schedule. The last time I did was in 2019 or so, and then I went and got back into graduate school for the interim.

Now that I'm back to standard hours, the commitment of time and energy seems to be quite a lot, more than I remember from prior ft experience(It could well be that this job is actually mentally demanding, whereas my prior full-time job was pretty brainless) and I'm not sure how I will make room in my life for anything else.

I like the job I'm doing, and I don't feel as if I'm being unreasonably pressured at work (Boss even said to go out of our way not to work overtime, and it's a salaried position so I know they're not trying to skimp on hourly pay), so I guess I'm mainly wanting to ask how the rest of you full-timers do it.

And does it get easier to manage as you start to get used to it and make a routine?

Maybe it feels like quite a basic or rudimentary to ask... But these are things I've forgotten in the interim since last working 40-hour weeks.

 

Let them eat each other.

 
 

...uh...

As opposed to Lake Biwa, not in Japan.
